Maggie missed her bus again. This time it was because she had forgotten her calculator back at the math lab, and only remembered it when she was half way to the bus station. Even though she ran, she didn't make it on time. Again. Her mother would be angry at her once more, and God knows Maggie didn't want another one of those meltdowns. She knew deep inside it was just the booze talking, but she missed the way things were before. When she didn't have to get scolded for everything, or get blamed for things that didn't even happen. Or be called a slut for wearing a skirt that was knee length. It's a catholic school uniform after all, or did she forget again? Maggie was just frustrated. She decided to weather the storm once more, and headed home through the industrial part of time, which just happened to be a shortcut. Maybe she'd even make it in time for dinner.
She plugged her ears with the sweet sounds of her favorite band coming through the earbuds, and picked up a brisk pace. She managed to catch a glimpse of herself in the windows of a parked car: blonde hair in a high ponytail, little bit of "forbidden" make-up, uniform shirt a bit too tight on the chest, she was quickly outrgrowing it. One would expect breasts to stop growing after 18, but hey, she wasn't complaining. She was satisfied with her appearance, though she wouldn't mind to gain a few inches. She had always felt tiny with her 5'2''. Engrossed with vain thoughts, she kept on going, ignoring everything around her.
She didn't realize someone was following her from the moment she left the school's parking lot.
She barely had any time to react when someone grabbed her from behind placing a tough hand over her mouth and started dragging her to one of the abandoned buildings she just walked by.
And then she bites him. The man lets out an angry cry and lets go of her for a second, but it's not nearly enough for Maggie to escape. He catches her again, and successfully drags her with him to the abandoned building. Inside another person grabs her and closes her mouth with duck tape, binding her wrists with it as well. Maggie can't see who this person is because it's so dark, but after a sudden and blinding light illuminates the place, she lets out a surprised moan. The other person in the room is her best friend Danika. Maggie is shocked.
